Subject: Attn Seacoast Semi-Competitive Dodgeball Players
We’ve heard your feedback from past leagues, and we are all ears as to how we can improve this league. As a result of player feedback, we are instituting a “dynasty rule.” This rule will ensure that no team that wins three seasons in a row may continue with more than 50% of the original players. No, we’re not trying to detract from a team’s success, but when the same team wins every season, sometimes it puts a damper on the excitement of play for the rest of the teams involved. We are also open to any rule changes this season based upon feedback at the captain’s meeting. Within reason, we are happy to tweak this league to keep it challenging and exciting for semi-competitive dodgeball players. Sign up today and please join us at the captain’s meeting (even if you’re not a captain) at the preseason party to voice your feedback. Thanks, and we hope to see you on the court! The NHSSC I literally puked in my mouth a little bit reading this. Just such a disgrace. They Dynasty Rule? Are you kidding me? Dynasty’s don’t put a damper on the excitement for everybody else. They make it better. Like you literally don’t have one competivive bone in your body if you’d want to break up a dynasty. The only way to break up a dynasty is to beat them and nothing tastes sweeter.
I literally puked in my mouth a little bit reading this. Just such a disgrace. The Dynasty Rule? Are you kidding me? Dynasty’s don’t put a damper on the excitement for everybody else. They make it better. You literally must have less competitive spirit than Adrian Gonzalez if you’d want to break up a dynasty. I mean I’ve never played a day of semi competitive dodgeball in my life and all I want to do now is beat this team. I’m obsessed with it. Like I may join this league just to stomp on these guys. That’s what makes me a champion I suppose. The internal fire to beat anybody who says they are the best at anything. Cowards whine about dynasties. Leaders of men defeat them.
I can see how you get volleyball and dodgeball mixed up..
David, proofread.
Volleyball if there are hot chicks ! Dodgeball if the chicks are fat and hairy!!!!!
Where’s COTC? I’m expecting contact info for league officials posted here within 20 minutes.
The greatest generation is rolling over in their graves.
“That’s what makes me a champion I suppose. The internal fire to beat anybody who says they are the best at anything.” made me laugh out loud, Mr. Champion.
step it up, pres
how can i use the new comments to vote down shitty blog posts by JT?
What if a team goes 18-1 in the regular season….is that O.K.?
…and the New Hampshire Obama vote now locked up.
thumbs up my comment if you think portnoy is retarded, thumbs down my comment if you think him and renne have never banged
wake up with blue sneakers?
Is it really that hard to just glance it over again before you hit post to see if you made any obvious mistakes?
By looking at the photos it’s pretty obvious they’re a dodgeball dynasty, it’s not like any of them are actually getting laid or anything
ugly squad
who lives in Portsmouth?
I’m here Harry, not dirt digging worthy but one glance at this page (http://nhssc.com/pages/contact) and Lauren “L.J.” Jackson grabbed my eye. I hope she didn’t make this rule.
I usually agree with all the Pussification of America posts but not this one….seems pretty simple…in my softball league one team won three years in a row so the league moved them up to a higher flight…seems simple. If there isn’t a higher flight they should find another league… obviously this is assuming they are blowing everyone out..if it is competitive every year then fuck the NHSSC…teams should put in som,e extra work in the off season
Retract my previous post, LJ Jackson is hideous. Someone like her would make this rule.

hahaha i kno the tall one in the back . this is great . besides th dynasty rule .. thats fucked
I wish Pres were in this dodgeball league and his team was stuck in 5th every year, because he’d be so on board with this rule preventing the dynasty from sucking everyone else’s fun out. You win it 3 years in a row and you have to change half your team, its not like you aren’t allowed to play. Maybe half your team should grow up and stop playing rec dodgeball anyways
neddy, am I correct in assuming that you enjoy receiving Greek?
All kidding aside, that’s a legit trophy
@COTC: I truly never understood chicks going by their initials. It’s fucking weird.
Red shorts looks like a weird bird who has been beaned in the head a few times.
I know a couple of these guys…they have a reward out for the team that can beat them. Big money too.
Get a team together Pres….just remember that beak of yours will be easier to hit than Red Sox pitching.
fire blog from the nose!
The fact there isn’t a barstool sponsored team in every beer league sport is a joke. Pony up some dough pageviews. You have 400 ball don’t lie shirts laying around that can be used as jerseys.
what the fuck is semi competitive dodgeball? You only try to hit the other team some of the time?
@COTC: Good idea, but the idea of El Prez ever sponsoring/giving anything away for free is a pipe dream.
@bababooey7 I have a team in the Manchester league, and we have been wanting to play these guys for a while. We’ve been pressuring the league for a tournament of champions for a little while. They should too.
